Astor Piazzolla meets Ennio Morricone in this tango-flavoured project with a twist of spaghetti western. The Tango Saloon's second album 'Transylvania' uses a similar palate of sounds and styles to the debut, but also branches off into many other areas. Not so much a horror score, rather a "musical postcard" which of course includes some dark and disturbing sounds, but also manages to throw gypsy brass, cha cha and some wild vocal numbers into the mix.

From the review of Peeping Tom/The Tango Saloon
(19th June 2007 at The Tivoli in Brisbane):
They may be based in Sydney but The Tango Saloon have a world class line-up that includes none other than former Mr Bungle drummer Danny Heifetz who was recently seen playing with the Secret Chiefs 3 only a few blocks away. Also boasting members from Woodford favourites Monsieur Camembert and Darth Vegas, The Tango Saloon’s impressive lineage goes a little toward explaining the mind-blowing set of side-stepping rhythms, diabolical groove and inter-continental tones, although nowhere near far enough.
The brass, double bass, accordion and triangle equipped eight-piece instrumentalists seamlessly skew between seedy 60’s spy tunes, wild spaghetti-western swings, Mediterranean marching music and dreamy Jewish jazz in a fluid, almost ambient style that defiantly dodges the quirky edge intimated in this definition.
Characterised by an intimate humility, their set is drawn primarily from the self-titled debut album, released in the States by Mike Patton’s Ipecac label. After a marching mosh with Heifetz’s signature percussive lunacy, they finish fittingly with the track Tango Saloon 2, which meanders through their alt-tango timing and traverses wild rhythm breakdowns before reclaiming tight synchronicity; unveiling an uncannily fulfilling song and set structure.
